Jury verdict:

"A series of sharp-shaped, CorTen-clad volumes cantilever out of a slope near the cathedral in the centre of Rodez, the native city of Pierre Soulages. Glass galleries link these differently proportioned windowless blocks, creating a strong rhythm. The exhibition halls and restaurant are lined up on the lower level following the incline of the slope, with a steep stair leading down from the entrance hall. Raw steel characterizes not only the envelope of the concrete structure but also, with great consequence, the inner claddings, floors, and window frames, allowing the black and white colours of the paintings to display their somber light."
